Jens Voigt is a German former professional road racer who became a cycling commentator after he retired. He wore the yellow jersey of the Tour de France twice and won two Tour stages, though the mountainous route meant he was never a contender for the overall title. He won the Criterium International a record-tying five times and took a number of other one-week stage races. In September 2014 he set a new hour record. He ended his career with Trek Factory Racing and was popular with fans for an aggressive riding style and an open, friendly manner, speaking fluent French and English as well as his native German.
